Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of virtual reality glasses applied to individuals who will undergo pleural catheter placement on pain, anxiety, and vital parameters. The main research questions that the study aims to answer are as follows:

• Does the application of virtual reality goggles have an effect on pain measured during pleural catheter insertion?
• Does the application of virtual reality goggles have an effect on anxiety measured during pleural catheter insertion?
• Does the application of virtual reality goggles have an effect on the vital parameters measured during pleural catheter insertion? The researcher compared the intervention and control groups to determine whether the glasses have an effect on the measurable parameters (pain, anxiety, and vital signs).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Pain severity

  Pain severity will be assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), a 10 cm scale ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain), measurements will be taken before, during and after pleural catheter insertion.

  From immediately before to 10 minutes after catheter insertion

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Anxiety level

  From immediately before to 10 minutes after catheter insertion
